Hi-Fi Corner

Can someone tell me which fuse is required in the XPS, and if there is a better rated version available?Thanks

Hi Forum,My CDS2 is about 3 years old sn 149732. To date i have had no problems, however, on every CD I play on every track at 9 seconds in to each track the player skips for about 0.5 second. It's clearly a problem with the CDS2 as my CD's play ok on...

Hi Everyone,I just received my naxo3-6 but it came without a manual. Does it use the same connections as the snaxo3-6? Do outputs 5-7 connect to 3 250's?cheersGus

May I ask how to clean the lens and make sure it is out of dirt/ dust?

This from today's New York Times. Universal is hoping that the price cut on CDs will spur massive increases in sales, but that seems to me very unlikely. I bet on an even more rapid erosion of sales, and the death of a few major labels in the near...

Hi AllI entered the Naim Domain over the last 2 years acquiring ex-dem and almost new kit along the way to give me a modest starting point. Currently I have a CD3.5, NAP90.3, NAC92, Intro2s and Naca5 cable.I'm now thinking of buying separate power...

Approx. 8 weeks ago I installed the new 250 into my system replacing a 140. (cd5/72/HiCap/new 250/Neat Vitos) About a month in, right on schedule the amp developed all the texture/finess/ & punch I anticipated. All was well and I moved to audition the new 282, wishing to upgrade my pre. Our main listening environment is the living room of our log home in Colorado, measuring 25'x 26' w/16' vaulted cielings; so a pretty large space with very nice acoustic potential. Occasionally we like to...

Thanks to those who replied to my "sand-filled plinth for turntable" post. The given advice was to use Rega's wall shelf, however I've always felt it added to the sound, making it a bit hard and "ringy."As my floor is concrete and I am very limited...

Im looking at a older lp12 which is available here. It is pre-vahalla with a Grace 707 arm and supex cartridge. Its offered for the equivalent of around 250UKP ($400US). I will have to gamble a bit though as I will have to purchase it unseen. The...

Hifor personal reasons I couldn't hear at my preferred levels (real, real loud ;-) any longer, so I consider to switch to the use of headphones.Now my question: Is is possible to use the new Headline with a non-modified Nait2 - e.g. from Tape-In/Out?...

Well here it is the next great step in "analog" music making.http://www.smartdev.com/LT/laserturntable.htmlSo have any of our brave american contributors heard it or know anybody who has one.Mind you at 10,000 $ and up it is a little expensive so I...

Hi folks,Just spent most of the weekend experiencing the addition to my home system of a 2/h XPS (about 4 years old I believe) from my local dealer.To put it bluntly I was underwhelmed.Took it home last Thursday night and put it straight into the...

I’ve bought a second hand 3.5 and the previous owner has followed Russ Andrews advice and cut the mains lead off a couple of inches from the box and fitted an IEC socket so he could use a Russ Andrews power cable. I’m thinking of getting...

Hi allHas anyone got a clue what DM70s might be worth second-hand.Any ideas greatly appreciatedJoe90

The external crossover box was detached from the back of the SBL for the purpose of transport. On receipt, I couldn't find any mechanical parts (screws? plastics?) to reattach the crossover box onto the back of the SBL. Anyone please help if it's...

If so, what were the results? Also, how much is the XPS2 Super Burndy in the US? [This message was edited by skraft on SATURDAY 06 September 2003 at 21:43.]

My CDX2 has started trying to grab CDs away from me when the door is nearly, but not quite, shut. It feels (and sounds) as though some magnetic force is suddenly at work that hasn't been for the rest of the year and although there doesn't seem to be a...

Last year I bought a CDX2. Before I was mainly listening to vinyl, so I hadn't have a big stock of CD. Having such a CD player I then bought more and more CD's. Now here is my problem: On some CD's (very few), after about 10 sec of playing a song (it...

HiI was wondering if anyone has demoed the soliloquy speakers with the series 5?I have been hearing good reviews of them , but have not had an opportunity to listen any speakers by this company mainly due to a lack of dealers in my town. I have found...

I'm about to purchase my first decent hifi system and I want to figure out how to arrange my room before installation.The room is a not-atypical UK sitting room that measures 14'5" x 13'1" (width goes down to 11'2" at the fireplace, with chimney...

Can't see if anyone's discussed this before. I was given a seismic sink a few years back by my dealer to try out and have use of. After not hearing any discernible improvement at the time (OK, my system was relatively basic at the time) I stuck it in...

Hi,I own CD5/Nait5/Intro2/all Naim cables.A brand new FC2 will be on my shelf soon, but what upgrade should I consider next?I would like to pass 112/150 and don't want to buy anything from second hand. Here are my thoughts:1. Sell CD5 and buy CDX22....

IS there any point of buying now £7,000 of state-of-the-art music invention device from a old and inferior format (CD)?A lot more information in the disk (SACD, DVD-A) should imply more music for less price.Any explanation why NAIM doesn´t...

Hi! I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but does anybody have an LP12 & CDX and a copy of the same album on CD & on LP? The reason I ask is that whilst I was very satisfied with my new LP12 up until a few days ago, suddenly it seems to have become somewhat muddled... a direct comparison with CD with Coldplay Parachutes, The Darkness and Red Hot Chillis latest shows the LP12 to give a very dark, closed in, distant sound in comparison to the CDX... whereas initially it surprised me how...
